What our participants say

At the end of every camp week, our participants fill in a questionnaire about their lessons, activities, accommodation, meals and the team. Here is a selection of their feedback, camp by camp.

Reviews written in English are shown exactly as written, mistakes included, because these are the children’s own words. Reviews written in another language have been translated, and this is marked each time. As our participants are minors, we only show the first letter of their surname.
